Rotating Graffiti Artist Work Station

ABSTRACT

A rotating kiosk which will provide an artistic platform for graffiti artist. Each participant will be issued a card that will give him access to the process. Once the card is inserted in the kiosk and the I.D. secured, the canvass surface will unfurl electronically. Upon completion, the participant reinserts the card and the painting spools back into the kiosk. Simultaneously a new canvass unfurls and the process begins again. 
     Periodically, the executed paintings will be removed from the spooled cylinder and a blank canvass cylinder inserted at each Kiosk location, then returned to the studio for our esthetic triage jury review. Those paintings that are deemed to have achieved significant artistic value and market potential are photographed, framed and submitted to selected galleries and the electronic marketplace for sale.

BACKGROUND

My curiosity and familiarity with the creative struggle of all giftedpeople and in particular a desire to provide an alternative toincarceration for talented graffiti artists, whose work would otherwisevanish in a shower of detergent gave birth to the rotating kioskinvention a modular painters work station. The following addresses theproblem of Urban Graffiti in an imaginative and artistically sensitivemanner providing the gifted artist a positive and financially rewardingalternative to incarceration for the exercise of his intuitive creativeability.

SUMMARY (SEE DRAWING NO: 1, 2, 3, ATTACHED HEREWITH) OF CLAIM OPERATIONOVERVIEW

I have designed a rotating kiosk (provisional patent application No.60943346) which will provide an artistic platform for the buddinggraffiti artist. Based upon certain criteria, he will be given theopportunity to receive a portion of the royalties from his effort oncethe individual painting has been sold in the gallery or the open market.

Each participant will be issued a card that will give him access to theprocess. Once the card is inserted in the kiosk and the I.D. secured,the canvass surface will unfurl electronically. Upon completion, theparticipant reinserts the card and the painting spools back into thekiosk. Simultaneously a new canvass unfurls and the process beginsagain.

MECHANICS OF THE OPERATION: Periodically, the executed paintings will beremoved from the spooled cylinder and a blank canvass cylinder insertedat each Kiosk location, then returned to the studio for our esthetictriage jury review. Those paintings that are deemed to have achievedsignificant artistic value and market potential are photographed, framedand submitted to selected galleries and the electronic marketplace forsale. Funds received are deposited in the non-profit operating companyand expenses paid accordingly.

CONCLUSION:

This memorandum represents a capsule look at, what I believe to be, asubstantial breakthrough in the vandalism and destruction of private andpublic property by urban gangs of rogue graffiti artists.

This memorandum represents a capsule look at, what we believe to be, asubstantial breakthrough in the vandalism and destruction of private andpublic property by urban gangs of rogue graffiti artists.

It is my belief that substantial artistic talent is being misdirectedand their mission of dissent compromised because they lack a civilizedforum for the viewing of their revolutionary visual art. They also lacka vehicle that will compensate them for their noble effort and therecognition of their peer group—the legitimate artistic culture of the21^(st) century.
